Many of our gardens are alive with fresh blooms, but there's only one dedicated to the art of dried flower arranging, and that's Priorwood. Pick up tips in the workshop, choose your own arrangements to take home, or simply enjoy the colours, scents and history. Especially beautiful in spring, come enjoy the blossoms and pause for a picnic within sight of the ruins of Melrose Abbey.
